Principal Product Manager

About Osano: Osano is an innovative B-Corporation built around a simple belief: privacy is a fundamental right. Since day one, we’ve been focused on giving modern enterprises the ability to innovate quickly, stay competitive, and earn customer trust by respecting data privacy and complying with consent guidelines. Our products help organizations operate confidently in a rapidly evolving regulatory and technological landscape. About the Role: We’re looking for a Principal Product Manager to own and drive one or more strategic product areas within Osano’s platform. This is not a traditional roadmap-coordination role. This is a high-ownership, execution-focused position for someone who wants to operate like a mini-GM for a product area — balancing customer needs, product strategy, engineering alignment, operational rigor, and business outcomes. This role has two major dimensions: Part 1 — Product Ownership You will fully own a product area, including roadmap prioritization, continuous delivery, and ensuring Engineering has complete clarity around what is being built, why it matters, and sequencing priorities. Part 2 — Principal-Level Operational Leadership As a Principal PM, you will help raise the bar across the Product organization by improving consistency, mentoring peers through influence, and helping shape how product development operates at Osano as we scale in an increasingly AI-native environment. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves decisively, embraces ownership, and prefers building and shipping over process-heavy product management. Responsibilities: Product Ownership & Execution Own roadmap, prioritization, and execution for one or more strategic product areas Operate with accountability for product outcomes, delivery quality, and execution consistency Define and execute 6–12 month roadmaps aligned with company objectives and customer needs Drive continuous shipping and iterative delivery with a strong bias toward learning and execution Ensure Engineering teams have clear understanding of priorities, sequencing, customer value, and business impact Partner closely with Engineering to maintain a predictable, high-quality release cadence Lead agile product development using Scrum, Kanban, or similar frameworks Cross-Functional Leadership Partner closely with Engineering, Design, GTM, and Executive Leadership to align priorities and execution Communicate product strategy, tradeoffs, and roadmap decisions clearly across stakeholders Drive alignment in ambiguous or rapidly changing situations Help teams make decisive, informed product decisions even when data is incomplete Operational Leadership & Product Excellence Raise the bar for product quality, consistency, and operational rigor across the Product organization Mentor and influence Product peers without direct management responsibility Help improve prioritization discipline, delivery practices, and product operating consistency Bring structure and clarity to fast-moving product initiatives AI & Innovation Aggressively incorporate AI-native workflows into discovery, prioritization, product operations, and execution Leverage AI and agentic tools to improve team efficiency and product development velocity Partner with Engineering to adapt product practices for an AI-accelerated development environment Evaluate opportunities and risks introduced by rapidly evolving AI capabilities and technologies About You: You are energized by fast-moving environments where ownership and execution matter more than hierarchy You operate with urgency while maintaining strong judgment and product quality You are highly adaptable and comfortable navigating ambiguity You think like a business owner, not just a roadmap manager You are decisive and action-oriented, even when information is incomplete You communicate clearly and create alignment across technical and non-technical teams You are curious, open-minded, and excited by emerging technologies — especially AI You actively seek feedback and help elevate those around you You prefer building, learning, and shipping over excessive process Must-Haves: 8–10+ years of Product Management experience in B2B SaaS or ISV environments Proven experience operating as a senior individual contributor with ownership over a product line or major product area Strong track record operating in high-velocity environments with continuous or weekly release cadences Experience building and executing 6–12 month product roadmaps Strong partnership experience with Engineering teams on technical SaaS products Strong understanding of APIs, SDKs, integrations, distributed systems, and SaaS architecture concepts Clearly demonstrate how you have questioned, learned and used AI in the last 24 months to reinvent your product craft.
